IMMIGRATION OFFICE<br />

The immigration office (die Ausländerbehörde) handles all<br />

issues regarding your visa to enter the country (das Visum)<br />

and your allowance to live and study in Germany (die<br />

Aufenthaltserlaubnis).<br />

There are different guidelines for entering Germany and<br />

receiving an allowance to live and study in Germany,<br />

depending on which country you are from.<br />

Here are some general guidelines: The town hall with the<br />

immigration office in<br />

Flensburg.<br />

If you are from an EU-country, you do not need to apply for either<br />

a Visum or an Aufenthaltserlaubnis.<br />

If you are from the following non-EU countries: Australia, Andorra,<br />

Canada, Honduras, Israel, the Republic of Korea, Japan, Monaco, New<br />

Zealand, San Marino, or the United States of America:<br />

� You may enter Germany without a special Visum or<br />

Aufenthaltserlaubnis. You are allowed to stay in Germany for three<br />

months on an automatic tourism allowance. This means that you do<br />

not need to do any applications before you travel to Germany.<br />

� If you plan to stay in Germany for longer than three months, you must<br />

go to the immigration office BEFORE your three-month allowance is<br />

over to apply for an Aufenthaltserlaubnis, in order to legally remain in<br />

the country.<br />

If you are from another country, you must visit the German embassy (die<br />

Botschaft) in your home country BEFORE you travel to Germany, in order to<br />

apply for a Visum and an Aufenthaltserlaubnis.<br />
